    Step 1: draw the isosceles triangle △RST

    **Step 2: find the measure of \angleS

    Since RS‾=RT‾\overline{\rm RS}=\overline{\rm RT}, it follows that \angleS = \angleT.

    Let \angleS = \angleT = x^\circ:

    50∘+x+x=180∘50^\circ+x+x=180^\circ ∴x={180∘−50∘}{2}=65∘\therefore x=\frac\{180^\circ-50^\circ\}\{2\}=65^\circ
